The OCR feature sounds cool. You might want to contact the guy who wrote 'AR sudoku solver', he already tackled the problem.

I would be happy with a version for Windows Phone !

Please put me on your email list. I love the web site. Cant wait on the app!

I would like to beta test the Android version. I have several sudoku apps but none of them really do the job.

As Arthur mentioned in his post, I would love to see a "hint type of system" similar to how it is in the "Enjoy Sudoku" app. If the player is stuck, the app will give a hint like "Look for a fish" or "look for a chain." Either way, this is shaping up to be an amazing app and I can hardly wait for the Android version.

Sign me up. I use the browser version all the time!

Great idea to bring it to mobile! I would love to test it out, or maybe even develop it for Android!

Would like to see a version that will work on the NOOK
I picked up a NOOK to use when traveling so I don't have to drag my laptop and would enjoy having my sudoku solver with me.
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
What a pleasure to see at last a first picture of your sudoku solver.It seems to be good. I'm looking forward to test it.
Regards
... by: Arthur
Love to become a beta tester, or heck even help with the development.
Something I'd love to see is, instead of "Take a step", add a "Give me a hint" option. The hint would do the "take a step" functions, but instead of updating the grid, it would display a message like "Look for an XYZ-wing".

I have been a huge fan of this solver for a few years. The way the steps are constructed for checking are excellent and educational for process. I am also excited to see an iPad version as it is tedious to enter numbers. As a "non-expert" I'd love to get more of a beginners explanation of some of the more advanced solving techniques. Specifically, how to spot when to use these techniques and maybe a "here's one for you to try" example once one has a good idea of how to use each one.

I would love to beta test your Sudoku solver for android.

If u can do a solver for Android like http://www.angusj.com/sudoku/, please inform. The only drawback I find in https://sourceforge.net/projects/sudokuopensourc/ is that it does not allow you to create a sudoku from print like Simple Sudoku.

Re: Anthony Shortland's suggestion for the "dot" method - Wow! Someone else who uses dots - I thought I was the only one! Invaluable in those printed puzzles in the newspaper that don't have enough space to write the candidate numbers - so I imagine similarly useful on small phone screens.
Andrew - maybe each cell could actually be programmed with 9 sub-cells. Select the cell then hit a number to put a number in that cell. Select a cell, then a sub-cell to put a candidate in. May need a pen type manual pointing device for user accuracy, or sharp fingernails! ;-)

I am already a big fan of your webpage - I can´t wait to see it on my iphone
thank you

Hi Andrew.
I discovered your solver for a long time now and the idea to see this solver on iPhone, well, what a very good thing. I played a lot of sudoku for mobile phone but none of them had the same functionnalities.
I saw that you were looking for beta tester and I would be very proud to be one of them.
Best regard.
... by: RoC1909
This is the first time I have viewed your site and I am highly impressed with your solvers. I wouldn't hesitate to pay a premium (15-20 bucks) for a mobile app (preferably Android) that has a similar functionality to what is on the site. I love how the "yes" and "no" show up on the "strategies." Amazing...!
... by: Mike
You are the BEST! Good luck
... by: Anthony Shortland
I'd like to suggest you include the "dot" method of marking candidates in each square as a cleaner way to present a partially solved puzzle.
i.e. simply place a dot in each of nine spots in each square to indicate the candidates.

Glad to hear you're working on an iOS app. Would really like to be A beta tester!

Hi,
What a good news to create a solver on iPhone. There are few sudoku solvers really interesting on iPhone.
But !!!
What do Robert and Eric expect from you to tell you that they could pay $20 or more for this solver.
In my opinion, I think that's very ridiculous and scandalous. You never talk about money so why do they talk about money for you ???
Once again, ridiculous;
Have a nice day...

Hi. It won't be that much, don't worry! It will be in the first or second price band. :)

Great plan. I've been hoping for a solver for my PC, but for my iphone would be even better. I also like the ideas of being able to highlight cells with a specific number or highlight cells with only pairs. Additionally using another highlight to mark links is good. The Sudoku program for the PC that does a good job is by sadman software. Nothing is has your suggested list of features for the iphone. I'd also pay $10 to 20 for the top tier feature set.

Hi Andrew.
Really happy to read this post. I don't know if you remember me but I've already wrote to you if you could make a java version for window of your solver and you answered me that you couldn't cause the only program you were using was your in-line program or so. And now I can see that you are working on iPhone version and I'm so happy. Thanks a lot and I really look forward to see your APP on the app store.
By the way, I think that the price below $5 will be a good idea. I don't know if Eric G. was serious but $20 was really too expensive.
Sorry for my poor English but I'm French so be indulgent ;-)

Hi Andrew,
Although, Enjoy Sudoku is giving you a run for its money, i certainly think there will be a market for the program you have suggested. Maybe i missed it but, if you can generate sudoku puzzles as well it would be great. I would suggest that the routing stuff you have on the internet showing strong and weak links be available and more importantly that we the user be able to draw our own links in a user friendly fashion. Furthermore, as at very high level us sudoku fans are pretty hardcore, don't be shy to charge a premium... I would have no problem paying $20 or even more for the program. You could perhaps have tiered amounts depending on the level of functionality. I am excited you will finally join the bandwagon and Iam highly confident you will regain your title of leader in the mobile world as well. i would be delighted to beta test if I can be of any help

Glad you like the idea and thanks for the ideas. It will probably be in the 2nd or third price band. Above 99c but below $5. Haven’t thought about that yet. I’ll add you to the list for beta testing, appreciated.
Drawing links – that would be a nice idea.
Generator slightly more difficult. Random and throw away, one at a time sort of thing?

I was sitting here using your web page to help me with a sticky Sudoku puzzle and I said to myself 'gee, i wish this was an app for my smart phone'. I then noticed at the top of the page your note about creating the app. YAAAY!
I really look forward to using this app once you have created it for the Android. I think the features you have incorporated on your website will make this the premier app for playing (and learning to play) Sudoku.
Every other Sudoku app I have tried has made me think 'gee, i wish this app had features like the Sudokuwiki.org site.' Now I wont have to think that anymore.
Thanks for making this app! I look forward to it.
